Gears of War "Grenadier" figure - NECA Comicon 2009 EXCLUSIVE

AWESOME!
This toy is so awesome! Anyone looking at this toy should get it now! It is one of NECA's greatest figure!

Top Notch Figure...
I always open my action figures and when I purchased this lambent grenadier I did the same. However, I found myself buying another one due to how amazing this figure is. The best thing about this figure is the glowing transucent gimmick the figure has. I was optimistic at first, but I suggest you open it to get the full effect of this aspect of the figure. I bought another one to keep in its box so that way I will always have a masterful figure. You should buy another since there on sale on amazon for 12 dollars its a must buy.

SDCC Exclusive
Well its just a Lambent Grenadier with just one weapon. its hard to say that it should of came with more, since in the game you dont see much of them, just when that one Lambent jumps off to get you and then dies, and the lambent goes or comes out of him and goes up the wall and into another Grenadier. but now i see the price is [...] bucks now! wha... i bought 1 last week, and now i will be buying a few more maybe 4 more. i would make sure i would buy this if you are a GOW fan and collector. you dont want to end up looking for one later like SDCC A. Carmine! he looks a little too dark tho, but when lit up looks cool. but since i have alot more and most of all the NECA GOW Figures i can give him more weapons! A must have for a TRUE GOW COLLECTOR!

Pretty good

Cool packaging, but wheres the beef?
Okay, I have tried to buy as many Gears of war figures as I can. I was really looking forward to this figure, and would check up on it as often as I could. I even spent waaaaay to much on two of them when they were first listed (simply becasue I wanted to make sure I would get one/2/3/4).

This figure comes in a clamshell (like all the single figures, of course), but this one has the back cut out of the paper that is inserted into the clamshell before sealing, so that if you hold it to the light, the figure will appear to "glow" as the Lambent do in the game. Kind of a cool little thing to do for the packaging...IMO.

...as for the figure itself, well, what can one say? The figure has a paint ap that is pretty much common grade for mass produced figures. The only weapon you get is the Gnasher shotgun (well, it is a GRENADIER), but I think they could have thrown in a couple more accessories for the price.
